Tech Gadgets for Keeping Your Dog Healthy and Happy

Having a dog is like being a parent – you have your fluffy, furry, four-legged child who loves you unconditionally and who you love back. You have to be a real parent to your dog: taking them to the vet, feeding them, bathing them, teaching them useful tricks and commands, and playing with them. They become family members, and you look forward to cuddles and silly games. Of course, you want what is best for them, so we give you a useful list of tech gadgets both of you will love.

You have probably already seen a couple of videos of adorable dogs who put a tennis ball in a machine which then launches the ball on another end of the hall so they run after it. GoDogGo is a professional fetching machine that dispenses tennis balls in different time intervals, and it also has different distance settings, so it’s suitable for dogs of any size. It has a big basket on top in which your dog has to place the ball he brings so that it can be fired again. This is great for owners of energetic and hyperactive dogs who never get tired of running around and fetching.

Even though this is not a high-tech piece, a food cube is incredibly popular and dog owners report their pets loving the toy. It’s a simple cube which can be made either of hard plastic or a bit softer one, and it can hold about a cup of dog food. It has strategically placed small holes through which the treats fall out when your dog pushes the cube around and rolls it all over the floor. All you need to do is offer the cube to your dog, they will start to play with it and the treats will start coming out. It’s a wonderful toy to keep your pet entertained and you can find it in any well-equipped pet store.

If your dog has put on some weight, you might want to do something about it and help them get back in shape. FitBark activity monitor is a handy gadget which monitors your dog’s sleep and activity. It can be synchronized with your smartphone so you can easily see your dog’s statistics: activity and sleep hours as well as the number of calories spent. This will help you keep an eye on your pet and get them in shape quickly without exhausting them too much too soon.

For dog owners who spend a lot of time away from home, Treat Cam is the best solution. Reward-based dog training always gives the best results, and treats are what your dog probably loves best. When you use Treat Cam, you will be able to see what your dog is doing while you’re away, and microphone and speakers allow you to communicate with them easily. Talk to your pet through these speakers and dispense treats with a click of a button. What is more, you can easily use the camera to snap a cute photo while your dog is listening to your voice.

When it comes to dogs, it’s not all about gadgets. They are simple creatures who love you above all else in the world, and rather than a ton of toys, they need your love and attention. They are always there for you, they protect you, and look forward to you coming home. That kind of love is special and you should cherish it.
